DIY Gift and Craft Ideas!
I sadly have to work Black Friday at Macy's from 3am to 11:30 am :( Lame sauce! But that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about what to get during Black Friday! I have some Christmas Shopping that needs to happen as soon as possible and Black Friday is the start of Official Holiday Shopping!
If you're not sure what to get someone special, I did make a list of gift ideas last year here just in case someone was unsure on what to get someone. I'm currently having trouble figuring out what to get my parents and grandparents for Christmas this year. I want to do something personalized though, that's for sure.
So I've come up with a list of DIY Crafts for this season.
~Candles
~Ornaments
~Wreathes
~Candy Bags or Jars
~Knitted Scarf
~Knitted Gloves
~Scrapbooks
~Snowglobes
~Homemade Soaps
~Homemade Bath Salts
~Homemade Bath Fuzzies
~Brownie Mix in a Jar
~Hand Painted Plates
Just some ideas for the holiday season.

Just One Conversation
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and it just changed your whole relationship or friendship with that person?
I remember the conversation pretty well. Austin called to tell me that he had feelings for me and I didn't return the feelings. Yes, I liked him and had feelings for him when we first met but as time went on those feelings went away. He never did anything about his feelings till after high school, right before we went to college. During high school, I started to think of him more as a brother because of the way he was always looking out for me. So that is what he is to me. I put him in the friend-zone and for good reason. I didn't want to lose him as a friend. I never wanted to risk losing what we had.
But apparently, he felt differently and he told me how he felt. He was willing to risk it and to change our friendship for good or bad. It currently seems bad though. It has been bad since he told me but I've tried to make it work. I've tried to get things back to the way they were before but I don't think he wants that. I don't think he'll ever want that because he wanted more. As respectful as he was by saying he understands that I don't feel the same way, I don't think we could ever go back to the way our friendship was.
I honestly think that one conversation changed our friendship. A friendship that was once beautiful turned ugly in just one conversation.

Friday: Possessive Boyfriend; Redefine Me; Struggle with Weight Loss
It's been a long week, I kept thinking every day was Thursday up until Thursday when I thought it was Monday. My mind is strange but it could be because I had Wednesday off and I worked on Thursday. Thank goodness it's Friday!
G3IU5 Asked:
I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 18. He's really possessive and protective and sometimes I really like that. It makes me feel loved and safe. But sometimes he likes to bite my neck really hard and leave marks. It's so everyone knows that I'm his he says. It kinda hurts and I'm not sure if it's normal for him to do that. I really love him and I know he loves me. Should I tell him to stop? I dunno if he even will.
If it matters for the answers, I'm a guy.
Dear G3IU5
If it hurts you then you should let him know. If he loves you like you said then he'll stop because he wouldn't want to do anything that will hurt you. If he wants to show other people that your his then there are less hurtful ways for him to do it. Like getting you something instead of biting you.

Thursday Beauty: Brown Sugar Lip Scrub
The cold weather not only brings dry skin, but chapped lips as well. My lips always get dry at night when it's really cold. At night I used Benefit's Dr. Feelgood Lipscription which is discontinued but it was a lip scrub with a lip balm. I put it on at night and it made my lips feel so soft but since it is discontinued I had to find something else. So I've been looking and using different lip products and right now I'm trying out this Brown Sugar Scrub, which I thought I'd share with my readers that I found at The Blush
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of pure coconut oil
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Directions:
Place your coconut oil in the fridge for about 20 minutes or until it thickens up. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the oil into a bowl along with the honey. Mix until its smooth and looks a little like cookie dough. Add the sugar, sugar, then stir it up.
This can be stored for up to two weeks but should be plenty for the next two week.

Hard To Love
I am insensitive,
I have a tendency to pay more attention to the things that I need,
Sometimes I drink too much,
Sometimes I test your trust,
Sometimes I don't know why your stayin with me

I hate November. November is my least favorite month. Mainly because this is the time of the year when Connor and I usually get into a big fight. I don't know why it happens around this time of the year but we fight and I say some hurtful things that I regret. I of course have a lot of apologizing to do and he does forgive me every time.

Silly Grandpa!
I love my Grandparents; they've done so much for me and the rest of my family over the years. My Grandpa is so funny though. He has twenty grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. I'm 22 years old and have rarely brought a guy to meet the family. One, my family can be really intimidating because there are just so many of us. Two, my family is the Royal Family of Drama. Someone is always getting into someone's business and causing an argument. That alone is embarrassing.Anyway, I went to visit my Grandparents last night because my Grandpa is a veteran and it was Veteran's Day. I don't know what brought it on but my Grandpa started talking about my wedding menu! I'm 22, I'm not ready to get married and to settle down!
My younger cousin has been with her boyfriend for three years and he fits in perfectly with out family! Grandpa should be talking about them getting married, not me!
I love my Grandpa though. He's a strong old man with a big heart and a great sense of humor. He has such a beautiful soul, I like to think I get a lot of my personality from him.
Be Beautiful For You!

How to make your parents let you hangout with your guy friends alone?
Kay like seriously it's pretty crazy crazy our parents don't let us hang out with our guy friends alone cause they think dirty things so it can't be two guys and two girls oh my gosh it's stupid, any advice?
Dear Anonymous,
I never made my parents let me hangout with my guy friends alone. They just let me. As long as the knew the guys, had them over a few times, realized that they were good guys and then they let me be alone with them. And as I got older they trusted my judgment. Basically, you have to ease them into it. When my parents and I moved into a neighborhood full of boys my age, I had them all over so my parents knew who I was going to be hanging out with. Granted my dad did not like it one bit but he got use to it. Like I said, ease them into it.

Thursday Beauty: Brown Sugar Body Scrub
During the cold months of October, November, and December, my skin gets so dry and ashy that not even lotion can help it alone so while I search for the perfect, already made, body scrub, I currently make my own homemade body scrub with brown sugar.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 TBSP Honey
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
Mix all ingredients into a jar. Then when you're ready use the scrub all over your body and rinse off.
This really makes your body feeling smooth.

Breathe
I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it’s killing me to see you go after all this time.

I've been feeling like I don't have any real friends. I feel like the people I've called my best friends for years are no longer my friends anymore. Sure I've pushed some away but that was because I felt like I was being used. They only talked to me when they needed me to give them advice, not when they needed someone to hangout with or wanted to hangout with. This feeling I've been having makes me want to be alone all the time. Yes, I hangout with friends but that's what it. I don't feel connected to them and I just want to feel connected with someone again. My best friend, Janna, moved away three years to Utah. I've visited her twice since she moved there. And then my supposed best friend, Austin, lies to me and doesn't talk to me anymore about anything going on his life. He would rather go to the bar with his coworkers then spend time with me, the girl he was not only in love with, but is best friends with her. I honestly feel like I'm drifting away from the people I call family.
Music starts playin’ like the end of a sad movie,
It’s the kinda ending you don’t really wanna see.
Cause it’s tragedy and it’ll only bring you down,
Now I don’t know what to be without you around.

Baby I'm Back
Hello My Readers,
I am back to writing my thoughts, encouraging everyone to be beautiful, and giving advice! Let's catch up shall we?
Well, when we last each other at the end of August, I told y'all that I got offered a job at Macy's and that is actually going pretty well. I actually worked yesterday from nine to five for an eight hour shift. Exciting!
Now during the month of September, I finished up my adventures with my two favorite boys and Toshi. We took an adventure to the fair city of Puyallup because that's where our closest Sonic happens to be. We had a great time being stuck in evening traffic. But honestly, that was the only way I would have been able to get my boys to take me to Charming Charlies. Food was used as a bribe because Paul, didn't want to get out of the house and I told him we were going on a surprise adventure. Alas, that was our last adventure together until October when I realized how much I was missing my weekly dose of Paul and wanted to visit him at University of Washington.
